You could use the ParseObject to save a text message in the same way as for the photos/video however, instead of saving a file and file_type, you have a text string containing the message. For example:

ParseObject textMessage = new ParseObject(ParseConstants.CLASS_TEXT_MESSAGES);
textMessage .put(ParseConstants.KEY_SENDER_ID, ParseUser.getCurrentUser().getObjectId());
textMessage .put(ParseConstants.KEY_SENDER_NAME, ParseUser.getCurrentUser().getUsername());
textMessage .put(ParseConstants.KEY_RECIPIENT_IDS, getRecipientIds());
textMessage .put(ParseConstants.KEY_TEXT_MESSAGE, myMessageString);
